I had this strong feeling that I had to write this chapter. So yeah, here it is. ;) Hope you like it.

Upon reaching the church, Raven stepped in. It so happened that she just stepped in during the middle of a sermon. Embarrassed that she had interrupted, Raven was about to step out when one of the worshippers there walked over to her and spoke to her.

"Oh! You're Raven huh?" enquired the person.

"Umm... Yeah. What about it?"

"Well, I'd just like to say welcome and no matter where you come from or what you were raised as, God loves you." With that, the person smiled at her and walked off to join the sermon.

That was pretty weird for Raven. She was usually shunned by others upon sight... Yet this stranger had just welcomed her and encouraged her even though he knew what and who she was. "Well, I guess really joining God's family isn't so bad after all..." thought Raven as she quietly joined the congregation.

Meanwhile outside the church, Beastboy and Cyborg were spying on Raven. "Okay! I know I'm dreaming. Wake me up cy!" requested Beastboy.

"Gladly... GRASS STAIN!" cackled Cyborg.

"What the... I told you not to call me..." Beastboy didn't have a chance to finish his protest before Cyborg conked him on the head.

That pretty much left Beastboy seeing the world spinning around and leaving Cyborg laughing at Beastboy's expression.

Back in the church, Raven suddenly felt herself tuning out for no reason at all. She checked her surroundings and found out that she was in her mind again. Suddenly, Trigon materialized out of nowhere. He extended a hand and grabbed Raven. "Now where were we?" questioned Trigon mockingly, "Ah yes! Turning you evil... I will fill you with so much hatred..."

But Trigon did not have a chance to finish his sentence as out of nowhere, there was a flash of pure light. "Release Raven NOW!" commanded a mysterious voice.

Raven felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, yet she could not quite catch where she had heard that voice. Thus, she listened further. "God..." hissed Trigon with much hatred in his voice, "Raven is my daughter and I have every right to take her."

"Indeed." replied the voice, "But you have forgotten that I am Raven's Heavenly Father and she has broken off all bonds with you." It was only then did Raven realize it was God speaking.

However, Trigon ignored God and started trying to allow Raven's doper ganger to take over her. Just then, Raven caught a glimpse of God pushing Trigon back into Limbo. After that, she saw Him shoo her doper ganger, despair and anger way as well. With that, Raven woke up again.

She then realized everyone was crowded around her with a worried look and that she was rolling on the floor clutching her head.

One of them asked her what had just happened to her and Raven smiled weakly and said, "Let's just say that I have had an encounter with God..."

Well, what do you think? This is supposed to be a cliffhanger. ;) Give me more inspiration for my next chapter. Yeah :) My exams are coming up on Monday, 10th Oct 2005. So for those who are willing, please pray that I'll be able to focus on my revision, get whatever grades God wants me to receive and that I will glorify Him through my grades. Thanks!

BTW, thanks to those who have encouraged me: red halo, midnyteshadow, Travis Hicks, TheOneRaven, JCdreamer, Jen

God bless you all. ;)
